We wre looking to buy a property in Newquay a year ago. As we are a young family we had a few requirements on the type and size of the property but our main requirement was the property location. We were very active as we wanted to buy a property quickly and get the kids settled. We visited all the property web sites on a daily if not hourly basis and we also introduced ourselves to all the estate agents based in Newquay. We visited them monthly to check on any new and upcoming properties. Event... read full review

I was a tenant with David Ball agencies for approximately 5 years in different properties, i always found them a bit slow with dealing with any issues but this did not bother me much.
in my last property with them we had harassing landlords, Staff always took their side and helped them force us out of a house that we'd never missed a rent payment in.
when we moved into that house it was a dive and we were told that if we painted it ourselves we can turn in the receipt for the costs and be reim... read full review

What agent could do to change your mind?

tell the truth, be fair, not scam people, look at all the facts before issuing an eviction notice based on lies from the ladlords!

Approximately three years ago I was looking to purchase a property in Newquay. I therefore visited all the Estate Agents in Newquay town. Having a little JRT dog, when I arrived, I stood on the threshold of each as good manners to enter with permission with my dog.
All Agencies but David Ball acknowledged me and, following a brief exchange, welcomed me in. I wondered whether I was 'invisible' to the David Ball staff !!
I didn't actually purchase at all at that time due to family circumst... read full review

What agent could do to change your mind?

The agent was terrible, doesn\'t care about client rights. She didn\'t help me with no water in flat problem, no report to Health Department about living conditions and finally she stall my deposit.

Have recently and reluctantly moved from a David ball managed property and from start to finish they were superb. Any maintenance issues reported were dealt with quickly and we would normally hear from someone ( plumber etc ) within hours to tell us they were coming to look at the problem. Always found Steven professional & understanding right to the end. Lesley was always available and would highly recommend these two and this agency as a whole... read full review

David Ball are providing a full managed service on 14 apartments. Despite the amount of such property available in Newquay, we have little if any void periods on any of the units if they ever become available. To be honest though the bulk of the tenants they have found for us stay in the properties anyway for well over the initial rental period and the quality of the people they have put in are in the main exemplary. A pleasure to deal with, I cannot recommend them highly enough... read full review

Steve Liddicoat, from David Ball Estate Agents, was able to make my renting period as a Tenant easy, enjoyable and fuss free. Throughout the 3 years I have been renting from David Ball estate agents, Steve has personally ensured that any issue or problem has been fixed and dealt with immediately. I have always felt that I am number one priority and I was able to contact my estate agent day and night with any queries or requests regarding the property. As an estate agent, Steve Liddicoat is appro... read full review

Very disappointed with David Ball Agencies. Numerous requests for call backs related to issues go un-returned, issues with the property (even after months of reminders) go unresolved with the same reply "we\'ll look into it", only certain members of staff are friendly/ approachable and/ or helpful and give the impression they actually care about more than just getting your money. The bottom line is, when you pay your rent on time every month, and you then have problems, you expect the ... read full review

What agent could do to change your mind?

Return calls as promised, adopt a friendly and helpful demeanour, sort out issues brought to light in good time, make the people who\'s money you take feel as if they are more than just a wage slip to you.
